| 发明名称 | Passenger service unit with emergency oxygen supply and reading light | ||
| 摘要 | The invention relates to a passenger service unit (PSU) for use in an aircraft, comprising a reading light having a light source and a reflector partially enclosing the light source, and an emergency oxygen supply device comprising an oxygen source, a starter unit for releasing oxygen flow from said oxygen source to an oxygen mask, a control unit for controlling oxygen flow rate from said oxygen source to said oxygen mask and an electrical energy storage device like a rechargeable battery pack or a condensator, for providing electrical energy to said control unit and/or said starter unit. According to the invention, the PSU comprises an energy harvesting unit adjacent to or integrated into said reflector of said reading light wherein said energy harvesting unit is electrically connected to said electrical energy storage device. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A passenger service unit for use in an aircraft, comprising a reading light in the aircraft having a light source and a reflector partially enclosing the light source, and an emergency oxygen supply device comprising an oxygen source, a starter unit for releasing oxygen flow from said oxygen source to an oxygen mask, a control unit for controlling oxygen flow rate from said oxygen source to said oxygen mask, and an electrical energy storage device for providing electrical energy to said control unit and/or said starter unit,further comprising an energy harvesting unit adjacent to or integrated into said reflector of said reading light wherein said energy harvesting unit is electrically connected to said electrical energy storage device, wherein the reflector comprises a semitransparent surface, such that a first amount of light emitted by the light source is reflected by the semitransparent surface and a second amount of light that is effective for energy harvesting emitted by the light source is transmitted through the semitransparent surface, wherein the reflector is arranged between the light source and the energy harvesting unit. | ||
